incorporated by reference into this Agreement, except as expressly modified or
supplemented herein. Any such modifications or supplements shall apply to this
Agreement only and shall not apply to any other agreement unless so provided for
therein. In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of this

3. SOFTWARE LICENSE
Upon delivery of the Licensed Software, the Vendor grants to the Owner
a perpetual, nontransferable, non-exclusive fully paid-up (i.e., buyout),
multi-site (capability to have deployed Licensed Software in any number of
sites) right to use license for the Licensed Software ("License") for use on the
Products purchased from the Vendor provided in each of the systems and the
System as a whole, subject to payment of license fees set forth on Exhibit B.
The Licensed Software will at all times throughout the term perform in

4. ORDER AND DELIVERY OF LICENSED SOFTWARE
4.1. The Owner agrees that the execution of this Agreement shall be
deemed an order for the Licensed Software for its Initial Application.

later than October 30, 1996.
5. ACCEPTANCE
5.1. The Owner and the Vendor agree that acceptance testing in
accordance with Exhibit C of the Initial Application for Licensed Software will
commence on the date of the installation of the Licensed Software or October 30,
1996, whichever is later. The period for acceptance testing will run for no
longer than the thirty (30) day period after commencement of acceptance testing.
The Owner will accept or reject the Licensed Software within such thirty (30)
day period unless the parties mutually agree that the Licensed Software has met
the acceptance tests prior thereto. If the Owner does not provide a notice of
rejection, then the Licensed Software will be deemed to have been accepted at
the end of the thirty (30) day acceptance period; provided that any such
acceptance will in no way limit the Vendor's warranty or other obligations under
this Agreement and/or the Contract. If prior to Owner acceptance, the Owner
notifies the Vendor of a Defect in the Licensed Software, then the thirty (30)
day acceptance period will be extended day-for-day until the Vendor has
corrected the Defect.

of the part of the Licensed Software shall not give rise to withholding
acceptance provided that the Vendor undertakes to remedy such defects and
shortcomings as soon as reasonably possible.
5.3. The Owner and the Vendor further agree that the Owner's acceptance
of the Licensed Software for the Owner's Initial Application shall be deemed
acceptance of the Licensed Software by the Owner for deployment of the Licensed
Software in its Nationwide Network; provided that nothing herein will limit or
otherwise modify the Vendor's warranty and other obligations hereunder.
6. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Without limiting the generality of Section 1.2, all of the Software and
Intellectual Property provisions of the Contract shall apply to the Licensed
Software provided herein.
